Refrigerant 134a enters a compressor with a mass flow rate of 5 kg/s. The working fluid enters the compressor as a saturated vapor at 15ºC and negligible velocity and leaves the compressor at 1400 kPa with an enthalpy of 281.39 kJ/kg and a velocity of 50 m/s. The power of the compressor is measured to be 132.4 kW. Determine the rate of net heat associated with this process in kW (with three significant figures).

The rate of net heat associated with this process in kW should be -13.775 KW.

Calculation of the rate of net heat:

At the 15 degrees

hg = h1 = 258.37 + 259.46/2 = 258.915 kJ/kg

And, h2 = 281.39 Kj/kg

Now we have to apply the steady flow energy

m(h1+v1^2/2) +  Q= m(hw + v2^2/2) + w

5(258.915 + 0) = Q = 5(281.39 + 50^2/2 * 10^-3) - 132.40

Based on this, Q = -13.775 Kw

Hence, The rate of net heat associated with this process in kW should be -13.775 KW.
